Good Airbrush to use?

[RogueDax1]

I'm not sure if this is in the right place but I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest and cheap( like around $100) but good airbrush kit and a quiet compressor. It will be my first time using liquid make up. Just to give an idea what I'm hoping to do with it, my friend wants to be Colossus from X-Men and I need to do a white streak like Nate Grey. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to Michaels and get an Iwata Eclipse. Great, general purpose brush. Then go to Harbor Freight and get an air compressor for cheap. I've had one that I bought from them for years and it still works. It's not quiet, but you are gonna pay for that.

I'm still a newbie air brusher, and I have a dual-action Paasche. They're relatively inexpensive, and fairly easy to use and clean.

I second the Iwata airbrushes, I'm really happy with mine. I work with a lot of painters and that's what most of them use.

Iwata HPC or any top loader Iwata. The bottom loaders are a pain to keep clean.

And gravity feeds the paint. You can use less air pressure because you're not trying to draw the paint up. this helps with finer lines.
